YMCAs and PALs

[Positively Ralf]

Just curious to know if anyone knows of a YMCA or PAL that has ever had or is running a pool/billiards program. The local YMCA has a ton of after school sports programs like boxing, athletics, gymnastics, basketball. Many of the local PAL's near me mainly have basketball and boxing but are open to anything else.

I can't speak to your specific issue, but back in the 60s and 70s it was not at all uncommon for after school programs at NYC public elementary schools to have pool tables. In retrospect I'm sure they played crappy, since they were put up and taken down each day.
